Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,

How are you doing? Let's check in.

🗨 "Any time our life is challenged we have an opportunity. An opportunity to hide, an opportunity to grow, an opportunity to rise to the challenge, and opportunity to dig deep within ourselves - to question beliefs that we thought were "right" but maybe it is time to look at the world with new eyes."

108: Let's Talk About Intuition Aug 21, 2020

Show notes

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,

Intuition. What are your thoughts about it? I share mine in this episode.

🗨 "My theory is that much of a human's unsettledness, or restlessness, has more to do with not following their own intuition/guidance/GPS, than to do with the outside world. Internal peace is life changing, and then, you know how to take the next step. It's so worth the discomfort to discover it. But then, trusting it is the next big step."

107: Empty Nest Transition Resources ⭐ Aug 14, 2020

Show notes

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,

Here we go. Another attempt at college during a pandemic. What an adventure for all of us - whether your child is heading back to campus with face masks, symptom monitoring, physical distancing, and no group hangouts, or if they are home.

No matter the choices that your family has made, motherhood is an adventure. Empty nesting shows up in our lives a little bit differently for each of us, but in the end, we all are doing our best to navigate this thing called life. If you need help discovering your future self, I'm here for you when you are ready to get to work.

Take deep breaths, my empty nest friend (or future empty nest friend), and do your best to enjoy the ride.

105: Aaaand My Child's School Went Online Again 😮 Jul 31, 2020

Show notes

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,

I had another topic scheduled for today, but with my clients, friends, and colleagues struggling with figuring out their fall season this year due to school changes, I sat down in front of the mic to share some unscripted thoughts with you. Forgive the rabbit trails. 🐰

My friend, please know that while the next few months look like a hot mess, you can handle it.

Here are some thoughts to try on. Adjust as needed. 💚

"This isn't what we planned at all, but we will figure out how to make it work, and I'll be patient with myself as I navigate the journey forward."
"This isn't what we planned. I'm not sure what the future looks like, but I can figure out my next best step at this moment - even if it is to stare at the wall to calm my brain."

Let's be real. Sometimes this is needed.

"Online again: Well, I know what didn't work last time around. How can I change those areas?"
"Online again: I can adapt in ways that I couldn't imagine a year ago. This won't look the way I had planned, and that's okay."

🗨 "Be there for your children. All of the thoughts and anxiety that you have (about our current situation) they feel that - and they have their own. So I encourage you to get to know them no matter their age - what's going on in their mind?" This episode's full transcript is available on my website.

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,

If your child is scheduled to head back to campus in four to six weeks, you may have questions about how to best prepare for campus during COVID.

102: How to Help Your College Student Prepare for A Different Campus Part 1 of 2 Jul 10, 2020

Show notes

Hello, my ah-mazing empty nest friend,

Fall 2020: some of our children's schools have plans for an on-campus return, and the campus won't be the campus our child(ren) left or visited. Life is different, and campus life will be no exception.

While our daughter is scheduled to head back to college in less than six weeks, that may or may not come to fruition. 2020 has a sneaky way of showing us that plans are rarely concrete. In the meantime, the best thing our family can do is prep for a return to campus with the knowledge we have now. In this episode, I share some things we are doing to prepare for an on-campus semester.
